The thing I remember most about that game, was how our big men really stepped up to carry the team, when the guards were having an awful game. Smith and Chism were so clutch, along with the hustle of JP Prince.
I'll never forget Tennessee blocking Memphis from getting to the floor, it was epic, i know Bruce orchestrated that troll move, that moment set the pace for the game, Memphis was denied entry into their own arena and lost. GO Vols🤜🏾👁️🤛🏾
This game needs to be happening every year. We that love both teams looked forward to that sooo much. Then they just erased it from the schedule. WTH? Put it back! Football, Mens Basketball, and Lady's Basketball. Knaah Mean?
I was in my junior year at UT when this game took place...watched it at a friend's house who lived across the river just past the Henley St Brisge. I was so freakin' baked lolol.
If they're hitting their shots, nobody can beat us. Other than that, Fulky has to wake up. He's fallen off like he's depressed or something. Triple J (James Jordan) needs to warm up. If Johnson, Springer, Bailey, and Trip J are hitting, it can be a great March. Hopefully Barnes can do better this time with his strategy.
This game and the championship game were the only 2 games we lost that year. Hurts to type...But we beat the VolenTEARS in there own gym today 😂😂 #GOTIGERSGO
It’s this game and the Tennessee VS LSU girls semi championship when Pat Head Summit was the coach. Alexis Hornbuckle made the shot that Nicky Anioske missed.
I remember watching a lot of these guy play against each other in high school as well.I remember watching Tyler Smith play against Wayne Chism when he’d played at Jackson South Side
RICK BARNES IS P O I S E D HE BEAT DUKE WHEN HE WAS AT CLEMSON & WENT TO FINAL 4 AT TX DO YOU THINK TEXAS WISHES THEY HAD NOT FIRED HIM & LOOK AT BRUCE PEARL AT AUBURN...TN VS AUBURN NOT KY IN SEC MENS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP...
I live in Austin... This guy Barnes is a coaching gem, and football-crazy Central Texas did not appreciate the man. Very glad for him and Knoxville. They need to embrace him-- he is the real deal.
From a Kentucky fan, Chris Lofton was such a beast. I got to see my town's team play against him, Paris vs Mason County. We always gave him a good game. But he was unconcious from three. That man could hit any shot he wanted to.
